Further study on a class of augmented Lagrangians of Di Pillo and Grippo in nonlinear programming

In this paper, a class of augmented Lagrangiaus of Di Pillo and Grippo （DGALs） was considered, for solving equality-constrained problems via unconstrained minimization techniques. The relationship was further discussed between the uneonstrained minimizers of DGALs on the product space of problem variables and multipliers, and the solutions of the eonstrained problem and the corresponding values of the Lagrange multipliers. The resulting properties indicate more precisely that this class of DGALs is exact multiplier penalty functions. Therefore, a solution of the equslity-constralned problem and the corresponding values of the Lagrange multipliers can be found by performing a single unconstrained minimization of a DGAL on the product space of problem variables and multipliers.

Noether symmetry and conserved quantity for dynamical system with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales

This paper focuses on studying the Noether symmetry and the conserved quantity with non-standard Lagrangians, namely exponential Lagrangians and power-law Lagrangians on time scales. Firstly, for each case, the Hamilton prin- ciple based on the action with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales is established, with which the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation is given. Secondly, according to the invariance of the Hamilton action under the infinitesimal transformation, the Noether theorem for the dynamical system with non-standard Lagrangians on time scales is established. The proof of the theorem consists of two steps. First, it is proved under the infinitesimal transformations of a special one-parameter group without transforming time. Second, utilizing the technique of time-re-parameterization, the Noether theorem in a general form is obtained. The Noether-type conserved quantities with non-standard Lagrangians in both clas- sical and discrete cases are given. Finally, an example in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime and an example about second order Duffing equation are given to illustrate the application of the results.

Electromagnetic Gauges and Maxwell Lagrangians Applied to the Determination of Curvature in the Space-Time and their Applications

If we consider the finite actions of electromagnetic fields in Hamiltonian regime and use vector bundles of geodesic in movement of the charges with a shape operator (connection) that measures the curvature of a geometrical space on these geodesic (using the light caused from these points (charges) acting with the infinite null of gravitational field (background)) we can establish a model of the curvature through gauges inside the electromagnetic context. In partular this point of view is useful when it is about to go on in a quantized version from the curvature where the space is distorted by the interactions between particles. This demonstrates that curvature and torsion effect in the space-time are caused in the quantum dimension as back-reaction effects in photon propagation. Also this permits the observational verification and encodes of the gravity through of light fields deformations. The much theoretical information obtained using the observable effects like distortions is used to establish inside this Lagrangian context a classification of useful spaces of electro-dynamic configuration for the description of different interactions of field in the Universe related with gravity. We propose and design one detector of curvature using a cosmic censor of the space-time developed through distortional 3-dimensional sphere. Some technological applications of the used methods are exhibited.

Ungraded Matrix Factorizations as Mirrors of Non-orientable Lagrangians

We introduce the notion of ungraded matrix factorization as a mirror of non-orientable Lagrangian submanifolds.An ungraded matrix factorization of a polynomial W,with coefficients in a field of characteristic 2,is a square matrix Q of polynomial entries satisfying Q^(2)=W·Id.We then show that non-orientable Lagrangians correspond to ungraded matrix factorizations under the localized mirror functor and illustrate this construction in a few instances.Our main example is the Lagrangian submanifold RP^(2)⊂CP^(2)and its mirror ungraded matrix factorization,which we construct and study.In particular,we prove a version of Homological Mirror Symmetry in this setting.

Lagrangian coherent structure analysis on transport of Acetes chinensis along coast of Lianyungang,China

Spatial heterogeneity or“patchiness”of plankton distributions in the ocean has always been an attractive and challenging scientific issue to oceanographers.We focused on the accumulation and dynamic mechanism of the Acetes chinensis in the Lianyungang nearshore licensed fishing area.The Lagrangian frame approaches including the Lagrangian coherent structures theory,Lagrangian residual current,and Lagrangian particle-tracking model were applied to find the transport pathways and aggregation characteristics of Acetes chinensis.There exist some material transport pathways for Acetes chinensis passing through the licensed fishing area,and Acetes chinensis is easy to accumulate in the licensed fishing area.The main mechanism forming this distribution pattern is the local circulation induced by the nonlinear interaction of topography and tidal flow.Both the Lagrangian coherent structure analysis and the particle trajectory tracking indicate that Acetes chinensis in the licensed fishing area come from the nearshore estuary.This work contributed to the adjustment of licensed fishing area and the efficient utilization of fishery resources.

Multi-Material Topology Optimization for Spatial-Varying Porous Structures

This paper aims to propose a topology optimization method on generating porous structures comprising multiple materials.The mathematical optimization formulation is established under the constraints of individual volume fraction of constituent phase or total mass,as well as the local volume fraction of all phases.The original optimization problem with numerous constraints is converted into a box-constrained optimization problem by incorporating all constraints to the augmented Lagrangian function,avoiding the parameter dependence in the conventional aggregation process.Furthermore,the local volume percentage can be precisely satisfied.The effects including the globalmass bound,the influence radius and local volume percentage on final designs are exploited through numerical examples.The numerical results also reveal that porous structures keep a balance between the bulk design and periodic design in terms of the resulting compliance.All results,including those for irregular structures andmultiple volume fraction constraints,demonstrate that the proposedmethod can provide an efficient solution for multiple material infill structures.

Controller design for 2-DOF underactuated mechanical systems based on controlled Lagrangians and application to Acrobot control

On the basis of controlled Lagrangians,a controller design is proposed for underactuated mechanical systems with two degrees of freedom.A new kinetic energy equation(K-equation)independent of the gyroscopic forces is found due to the use of their property.As a result,the necessary and sufficient matching condition comprises the new K-equation and the potential energy equation(P-equation)cascaded,the regular condition,and the explicit gyroscopic forces.Further,for two classes of input decoupled systems that cover the main benchmark examples,the new K-equation,respectively,degenerates from a quasilinear partial differential equation(PDE)into an ordinary differential equation(ODE)under some choice and into a homogeneous linear PDE with two kinds of explicit general solutions.Benefiting from one of the general solutions,the obtained smooth state feedback controller for the Acrobots is of a more general form.Specifically,a constant fixed in a related paper by the system parameters is converted into a controller parameter ranging over an open interval along with some new nonlinear terms involved.Unlike what is mentioned in the related paper,some categories of the Acrobots cannot be stabilized with the existing interconnection and damping assignment passivity based control(IDA-PBC)method.As a contribution,the system can be locally asymptotically stabilized by the selection of the new controller parameter except for only one special case.

Investigations on High-Speed Flash Boiling Atomization of Fuel Based on Numerical Simulations

Flash boiling atomization(FBA)is a promising approach for enhancing spray atomization,which can generate a fine and more evenly distributed spray by increasing the fuel injection temperature or reducing the ambient pressure.However,when the outlet speed of the nozzle exceeds 400 m/s,investigating high-speed flash boiling atomization(HFBA)becomes quite challenging.This difficulty arises fromthe involvement ofmany complex physical processes and the requirement for a very fine mesh in numerical simulations.In this study,an HFBA model for gasoline direct injection(GDI)is established.This model incorporates primary and secondary atomization,as well as vaporization and boilingmodels,to describe the development process of the flash boiling spray.Compared to lowspeed FBA,these physical processes significantly impact HFBA.In this model,the Eulerian description is utilized for modeling the gas,and the Lagrangian description is applied to model the droplets,which effectively captures the movement of the droplets and avoids excessive mesh in the Eulerian coordinates.Under various conditions,numerical solutions of the Sauter mean diameter(SMD)for GDI show good agreement with experimental data,validating the proposed model’s performance.Simulations based on this HFBA model investigate the influences of fuel injection temperature and ambient pressure on the atomization process.Numerical analyses of the velocity field,temperature field,vapor mass fraction distribution,particle size distribution,and spray penetration length under different superheat degrees reveal that high injection temperature or low ambient pressure significantly affects the formation of small and dispersed droplet distribution.This effect is conducive to the refinement of spray particles and enhances atomization.

Quantum Chromodynamics on Lattice: Direct Minimization of QCD-QED-Action with New Results

This paper describes a new numerical QCD calculation method (direct minimization of QCD-QED-action) and its results for the first-generation (u, d) hadrons. Here we start with the standard color-Lagrangian LQCD = LDirac + Lgluon, model the quarks qi as parameterized gaussians, and the gluons Agi as Ritz-Galerkin-series. We minimize the Lagrangian numerically with parameters par = (par (q), {αk}, par (Ag)) for first-generation hadrons (nucleons, pseudo-scalar mesons, vector mesons). The resulting parameters yield the correct masses and correct magnetic moments for the nucleons, the gluon-distribution and the quark-distribution with interesting insights into the hadron structure.

On Graph-Lagrangians and Clique Numbers of 3-Uniform Hypergraphs

The paper explores the connection of Graph-Lagrangians and its maximum cliques for 3-uniform hypergraphs. Motzkin and Straus showed that the Graph-Lagrangian of a graph is the Graph-Lagrangian of its maximum cliques. This connection provided a new proof of Turin classical result on the Turan density of complete graphs. Since then, Graph-Lagrangian has become a useful tool in extremal problems for hypergraphs. Peng and Zhao attempted to explore the relationship between the Graph-Lagrangian of a hypergraph and the order of its maximum cliques for hypergraphs when the number of edges is in certain range. They showed that if G is a 3-uniform graph with m edges containing a clique of order t - 1, then A（G） = A（[t- 1]（3）） provided （t31） ≤ m ≤ （3^t1） ＋ （2^rt-2）. They also conjectured： If G is an r-uniform graph with m edges not containing a clique of order t - 1, then A（G） 〈 A（[t - 1]（r）） provided （r^t-1） ≤ m ≤ （r^t-1） ＋ （r-1^t-2）. It has been shown that to verify this conjecture for 3-uniform graphs, it is sufficient to verify the conjecture for left-compressed 3-uniform graphs with m = （3^t-1） ＋ （2^t-2）. Regarding this conjecture, we show： If G is a left-compressed 3-uniform graph on the vertex set It] with m edges and lit - 1]（3） ／ E（G）｜=- p, then A（G） 〈 A（[t - 1]（3）） provided m = （3^t-1） ＋ （2^t-2） and t ≥ 17p/2 ＋ 11.

A Modified Lagrange Method for Solving Convex Quadratic Optimization Problems

In this paper, a modified version of the Classical Lagrange Multiplier method is developed for convex quadratic optimization problems. The method, which is evolved from the first order derivative test for optimality of the Lagrangian function with respect to the primary variables of the problem, decomposes the solution process into two independent ones, in which the primary variables are solved for independently, and then the secondary variables, which are the Lagrange multipliers, are solved for, afterward. This is an innovation that leads to solving independently two simpler systems of equations involving the primary variables only, on one hand, and the secondary ones on the other. Solutions obtained for small sized problems (as preliminary test of the method) demonstrate that the new method is generally effective in producing the required solutions.
